We have tried to build everything on experimental ppa before we move the packages to unstable ppa (and when we move packages to unstable we send an e-mail to the QGIS packagers to rebuild their repo). Unfortunately not all UbuntuGIS packagers wait until they publish on unstable, so things like that might happen.

Best,
Angelos

Isn't there possibly an option not to release packages for xenial and older until it's tested that ubuntugis works. As it only affects these older versions.

I can sympathise with OPs as I have been caught many times forgetting to comment out the repos in sources.list and unexpectedly being updated to a later qgis version that breaks something :)

My recommendation is that you do not upgrade QGIS as soon as the update

is available.


In this case, QGIS 2.18.13 worked for just one day, then GRASS got updated and broke the qgis plugin. If you'd refused the GRASS update, it would still work. There is nothing that the ubuntugis maintainers could do for it now.

So lets hope that QGIS 2.18.14  may live longer.
